Give Me Me a Small Break

I am a business man but there are many things that I would like to talk about during my free time that is not directly related to business. Many people think that I only want to talk about business since I work with business. I especially dread the topic “investment strategies“. People would come up to me and ask what for me the best strategy is.

What I would like to talk instead during my free time is about my other passions. Yes, I love business but it is not the only thing that I love in this world. Let’s talk about nature or music or our favorite basketball team. We don’t have to talk about business all the time. I do that more than ten hours a day and almost every day of the week so don’t you think I need a fresh bout of air and breathe on a new topic to talk about?

 

Writing Covered Calls to Increase Portfolio Yield

Writing covered calls month after month can be boring. In the same way that getting free money month after month can be boring.

Really, if you own stocks or ETFs and you’re not writing covered calls each month then you’re just leaving money on the table. It only takes a few minutes to choose the strike price and expiration date, and another minute or so to enter the order with your broker. After that, time is on your side and the option’s natural time decay will work in your favor, putting money in your pocket as time passes.

It’s a beautiful strategy enjoyed by millions. Anyone who owns stock can start writing covered calls today. How much can you each? It depends on which stocks you own, but a good rule of thumb is at least 1%/month (12%/year) and may as much as 2%/month (24%/year). Now, that’s on top of any dividends they already pay, and in some cases you can leave yourself room for upside appreciation as well.

 

Talk to a Professional Before Doing a 401K Rollover to IRA

It is important for people to start saving for their retirement at as a young an age as they can. There are several ways for them to do this. Many people choose to invest their money into a 401k. These are investments that not only offer a person a chance to save the money they want for when they stop working, but will also give them tax advantages while they are working. Another choice that people can sue to save money is an IRA. The one thing that these investment choices have in common is that there are penalties if the person tries to use the money in them before they retire. If a person decides they are interested in doing a 401k rollover to IRA they might want to contact a professional financial adviser who can guide them through the process. Without this guidance a person might find they have to pay taxes that they could have avoided when they do this.

 

Agreeing to Move to Melbourne

My friend and I decided to move to Melbourne after the company we work for decided to open its branch there and we were given the option to also go there and help manage that place. It was okay for us, as long as the company would help pay up the cost of living there by giving us an extra allowance since we are planning to get an apartment near the branch where we would be living in. The company agreed to the terms and so we started looking for melbourne apartments for sale in the vicinity of the branch, and we are glad to have found one so easily through this site called iconproperty.com.au. Though we were the ones who paid for this apartment, at least in our monthly bills, the allowance we will get from the company will help a lot in our expenses when we finally move there.
